e-mails.
i arrived as early as 7.10 am at the office today. we had a meeting at 8.30 am. so i decided to cyber-bluggde for a little while (still going on..) - while having my breakfast. i was reading my e-mails.
i came across a very quick reply from a friend in s'pore, which i met for the first time three months ago. she was trying to get the contact details regarding the place i was staying in during my short visit to s'pore. nowadays, this kind of things happen to me as often as they get. her question:
"... was it inside bathroom?"
brain: what was inside the bathroom..?
thought it was a rather cheeky question to ask! remember that was having my breakfast, and this girl who has been staying too long in s'pore was inviting me to creatively imagine what was inside the bathroom in the middle of my breakfast?! presto. bloody singlish .
finally realised that she meant to ask whether there was any rooms with a bathroom inside.
anyway, hee, starting to like e-mails again, and trying to find time regularly to reply. averagely, it takes me 1-2 weeks to reply a friend, but judging from the consistency that every e-mail gets a reply, i can be excused for taking some time to get back, especially those long ones (i.e. like the one sent by rose ;). appreciate long sincere e-mails, even so, sometimes got pissed off by the really short ones, one that asks ,"heyya, how are you?" , and there goes my standard reply, "great! how are you?", then no more replies afterward (read: communication breakdown.. what sort of a friend is he? a smiling assassin with yet-unaccounted-for ulterior motive, perhaps.. :)
